Riff-Raff
Riff-Raff joined the Animal Healing Centre when he came to live with Jenny as an eight month old puppy.
Jenny was quick to notice that he was a very different and extremely special dog.
He fitted in beautifully to the routine of helping with all the workshops and quickly became the "Face of the Animal Healing Centre"
You will see him on all Animal Healing stationary, advertising, letterheads and business cards.
He also graces the cover of Jenny's book "Paws & Listen".
Although he is a very powerful healer, his speciality is helping people learn the more advanced techniques of telepathic communication.

Stacy
Riff-Raff was one year old when Stacy joined his family. She was five weeks old at the time. Riff-Raff fell in love with her. At last he had someone with his own energy to play with.
Stacy is an extremely sensitive and gentle lady. She has taught many people the art of how to play and enjoy themselves. She loves communicating with people and brings a whole new dimension to the workshops.
On many cold winter mornings Jenny hears the sound of cracking which turns out to be Stacy cracking the ice on her pond so that she can climb in and play in the icy water. She really shows us all the art of making the most of what we have and enjoying EVERYTHING our lives "No matter what".
She also helps people who have just lost an animal friend to heal and find peace and joy again.

Isis
The day Isis arrived at Jenny's home it was love at first sight for her. She was madly in love with Riff-Raff and became his constant shadow. Following him everywhere he went and copying his every move. She became his total twin and to this day still mirrors everything he does.
Isis has an intelligence all of her own. Something needs only to be said to her once nd she never forgets. She watches the other dogs and if one of them is asked to sit or stay, she will do it the moment she is asked to do it. She is the only dog of Jenny's that has never been to school. She learns everything by observing others.
The first workshop she ever helped Jenny on was a healing workshop and she had never done this before. Jenny called her in to demonstrate to the workshop exactly where the energy centres were on a dog and how to do to a healing session on an animal. She sat in front where everyone could see her and as Jenny touched each energy centre she turned her body so that everyone could clearly see where these centres were.
She became a very powerful healer. Just spending a few minutes with her helps you let go of stress and feel much better.
-----------------------------------
Rikki
Rikki is the newest member of the team. He started off living under a tree on the pavement at the bottom of the property. Right on the corner of the Animal Healing Centre. Jenny used to put food out for him every day so that he wouldn't go hungry.
One day she said to him "If you want to join our family and live in the home with us you can but you need to know that living in a home as part of a family has responsibilities. You will have some rules that you need to stick to. The first rule is that you get along with the other members of the family and be relaxed around the other cats (and dogs)."
The next day Rikki moved in. Being a cat meant it took quite a long time for him to settle in with the rest of the animals. He was very bossy and a little THUG-like.
Eventually he was IN and part of the animal healing team.
His job is to welcome all the participants to each workshop. He greets them and helps them settle down before the start of the workshop.

Lucy
One day Jenny took a group of healers to The Highveld Horse Care Unit to do their practical exams on the horses there. When they got there Jenny was taken to see a baby donkey that had arrived five days earlier. She and her mother had been pulling a cart in a township when a speeding car had come around a corner and crashed into them. The NetCare people had stayed with the donkeys until the Horse Care unit arrived. The mother had broken her back so had to be put down right there. Lucy was taken to the horse care unit.
When Jenny met her she was a scared, timid and traumatised little donkey. But after spending a bit of time with her, she started to follow Jenny around. At the end of the day everyone went home with certificates and Jenny came home with a donkey.
Lucy had joined Jenny's family and the animal healing team.
She has proved to be the most incredible healer and has helped educate many healers over the years she has lived with Jenny.
The day she arrived at Jenny's home she took one look at the horse Red and fell in love. Today they are totally inseparable and go everywhere together.
---------------------------------
Red
Red is such a gentleman. He helps on all the communication workshops and also takes part in the healing courses. His daily duty is to look after all the donkeys and make sure that they are keeping out of trouble.
He has the gentlest nature but also has quite a stubborn streak.
He is incredibly open and ready to communicate with anyone and everyone that wants to chat to him. He is quite an amazing boy and helps people get over fear issues. He feels that if you have fear issues, it will hamper your life and you won't be able to grow until you lose the fear.
His job is to help people see that and work through it so that they can become whole and ENJOY the lives that they have chosen for themselves.
Red heals on the emotional side.

Tootsie & Ballinor
Ballinor on left and Tootsie on right have been living with Jenny since before she started the Animal Healing Centre. If anyone needs to know any secrets about Jenny, these are the two to ask. They have been there through everything and seen it all.
Everybody that works with them falls in love with these two spunky miniature horses.
They are just SO well-mannered and gentle. The love the communication workshops and have helped train many people in the art of telepathic communication.
They do help with the healing courses but their favourite duties are helping on the communication workshops. They say that some of the people that they get to communicate with are really quite entertaining and they love it. They also learn a lot from the people they interact with.
-------------------------------------------------
Jessica & Timothy
Jessica (left) & Timothy (right) were the only two surviving donkeys of fourteen that got out and ended up on the highway. Jenny subsequently found them on one of her visits to the Horse Care Unit. Needless to say she ended up adopting them and bringing them home to join her rapidly growing family.
They have such a light and playful energy. They have fitted in so well to all the workshops but haven't yet decided whether they prefer the healing ones or the communication ones. They are very good all-rounders and fit in wherever they are needed.
EVERY day to them is exciting. They love every minute of their lives. They also really enjoy people visiting them and giving them compliments. They continue to share their love with anyone who spends time with them. They have the ability to open the hearts of others.
-------------------------------------------
Zoro
Zoro grew up in Soweto. Late one night he took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle island of the Soweto highway. Being a black donkey, no one could see him in the dark and so the Highveld horse care unit took him in.
He had been well looked after and was a very happy and quite a well-adjusted donkey but after a fruitless search trying to find his owners lasting many weeks the decision was made to rehome him.
Enter Jenny.
To cut a long story short, Zoro came to live with Jenny and the team.
He is considered a very special little boy and has given Jenny many happy and entertaining moments.
He feels that it is his duty to make people laugh.
Laughter always heals so Zoro has taken on the duty of healing through laughter.
--------------------------------------------
Merry and Pippin
Merry and Pippin's mothers were both the guest speakers (Or should I say "squeakers") at one of our workshops quite a few years ago.
When they were born Jenny decided she needed a pig's perspective on the workshops so she brought them home with her.
Working with them and connecting with them on a telepathic level is amazing.
It is hard to believe that they have SO much wisdom and intelligence to share.
It is not that the other animals are not intelligent. Every animal has his or her own intelligence. These two little pigs, however, are the scientists of the animal kingdom. (or so it seems).
They are amazingly sensitive and gentle. They are also extremely aware of all the emotions going on in any of the animals or humans around them at all times. One of their biggest lessons they share with everyone taking part in the workshops is "boundaries"
They are very clear about setting boundaries and feel people should do the same. They feel we need to work from the heart in everything we do but also set boundaries so that we can value ourselves and respect others without judgement or criticism. They also teach us how to connect with the planet, respect it and use the earth to ground ourselves.
